  2. BBC 6 Minutes English

   
• Suited for: Intermediate & advanced level

• Featuress: You must have heard of BBC News. It is a well-known news media based in the UK. BBC releases hundreds of news pieces every day. But have you ever heard about the BBC 6-minutes English program? This is my favorite online English learning program so far. You only have to spend 6 minutes every day to learn. It is structured like a radio program and you can enjoy the two hosts talking about various topics. In the beginning of the program, one of the hosts would ask you an interesting question. Maybe about science, data, or even animals. And the two host would then start to discuss today’s main topic. During the program, they would incorporate some real-life interview and it is great for getting used to different accents in the UK. Useful vocabularies would be highlighted for each episode and you would also be taught how to make a complete sentence.
